Path description:
From the crossroads we focus on the road in the direction of Idrija, and along the road we walk a few 10 metres, then on the concrete rampart we see the mountain markings for Bevkov vrh, which direct us sharp left, on the road that climbs to the nearby homestead. At the homestead, continue through the courtyard, and behind the house, go right and climb up to the nearby trestle, where you go slightly left, so that you continue across the hayfield and climb up crosswise to the right. At a higher altitude, you will reach the lane of the forest, and then pass a house with no road leading to it. Above the house, the path returns to the forest and starts to climb steeply. Climb steeply through the forest for a while and then reach an asphalt road, which you follow to the left. The road soon becomes macadam, and you turn slightly right and climb up to St Paul's Church, which is situated on a viewpoint.

From the church, descend the ridge to the nearby farmhouse, which you pass on the left, and after the house, signs point you to the right and up through the hayfield. The path quickly turns into woods, passing Straža (548 m) on the left, and on the other side of the hill reaching the wider cart track, which you follow north-eastwards, continuing along the ridge, which is occasionally overlooked. After a while, when cart track splits, continue along the right-hand cart track, along which you will soon see signs (straight ahead or to the left, you can follow an unmarked path to reach Lajše). After a short crossing, you will reach a macadam road, which you can follow to the right, and then, with good views, you will reach the Trbovje homestead.

After the homestead, follow cart track, which turns into a forest and gradually begins to descend. Descend crosswise for a few minutes and then reach a dirt road near Zaganjalka.
From Zaganjalka continue along the road, which crosses the stream and climbs cross-country to the right. After a few minutes of cross-climbing, you reach the Zakrog homestead, where you go left after the house and then immediately right on cart track, which climbs cross-climbing over a hay field. At a higher point, cart track turns slightly left and gradually flattens out, and at the farmstead of Krog, the road is crossed.
Leave the macadam road after a few steps and turn onto the dirt track leading to the neighbouring house, and before the house turn slightly left onto a grassy track that climbs across the grassy slope. At a higher passage, you will pass into the forest for a while, and at the next farmhouse, turn left and continue along the dirt road. The macadam road takes us a few minutes to walk across the meadow to a crossroads where we join up with the marked path from the Kladje Pass.
Here we go right in the direction of Bevkov vrh and the local cheese, and we quickly arrive on the asphalt road to the farm Na Ravan, where they sell local cheese, and we continue a few steps before the farm to the left on the track that continues behind the houses. Cart track quickly turns into a path which then climbs up through the pasture, and higher up we reach a slightly wider track which climbs across to the right. As you enter the woods, you will see a larger marking resembling a road sign, and here the track turns into the woods and turns left. As you re-emerge from the woods, you will see another larger marker to help you descend. Follow cart track to a pasture fence and then along it to a chapel located by a power line.
From the chapel, where the SPP stamp and the registration box are located, continue left in the direction of Sovodnja. It is a 10-minute walk along the partially overlooked ridge Bevkov vrh. When the path turns into the forest, we are only a few steps away from the top of Bevkov vrh.
